We need a clip for battery connectors

[carckton driver]

Hey @3d-rc.myshopify.com have you ever thought about making clips to secure battery connectors? I think something we can glue on to each side would be the trick. Your products are amazing and your awesome. If anyone could do it and anyone i would want to buy it from you would be the guy.

Any concern over the connectors no longer being able to disconnect on battery ejection?

I’m okay with this

I usually run the cables on top of the battery and velcro both cables down on the top of it. Had no problems yet. Can post a picture if you like.

Your talking about the strap that goes sideways over the battery? Never done it because im worried about loosing strength of the velco. Pretty sure with 2 3s batteries in there wouldnt be much velcro making contact

Lol no. My battery has never ejected and i sure hope if it does it comes disconected

Yes, I just checked and for context, this is a Vorteks 3S BLX. I have 2inch or 5cm velcro making contact and I got a rather thick battery( Zeee 8000mah 3S 100C hard case)

im really surprised theres not more interest in this. so many times when watching youtube videos you see the connector wiggle lose.

I think some youtuber mentioned that in case theres a crash or smth, its better for the connector to disconnect from the battery.

I had that issue on my e-revo v1/2.0 because I couldn't strap down the plugs like I do on my arrma's. So I made some clips to lock my XT90's together. Then ended up getting some alloy clamps and mounted the connectors to the chassis perpendicular to the truck, but the clips worked until I did that.

These were the clamps:

Those worked well too since I'd have to land on the side from about 50 feet up to pop the cables out... if I did that, I'd be going home anyway because the truck would be a pile of busted parts.
